"Existence is fragile" says Lav Diaz, "At the end of the day, we really don't know anything". A simple, yet complex story; a work about human existence, which raises the question "where does logic figure in all of this?" A film that seeks to push cinema towards its deeper and grander end: to find answers to the philosophical questions that each viewer asks himself. The setting in Mindoro, a province of the Philippines of which Charo Santos-Concio is a native, made the shooting even more authentic than the theme of the film could have.
